May I preface this post by saying I just wish one person from WordPerfect reads this!!! May I suggest some of the more talented NeXT programmers head to 1555 North Technology Way in Utah and offer their services to WordPerfect Corporation free of charge for about a week to fix this app. We just purchased version 1.0.1 of WP and it sucks. Granted, v1.0.1 fixes the COMMAND-B, COMMAND-I bugs; but, If you ever plan on doing any serious word processing, don't purchase WP. And I don't consider what we are doing any serious word processing. Sorry students, I am afraid you will find it in the labs. Users need to be able to edit text easily! I would like the ease of use of WriteNow with character strike through and style management. I also don't want to see TimeMon go crazy when I run WP and select some text. And I don't want to see a spinning disk everytime I highlight some text and select bold. Do not use the INDENT function in WordPerfect and try to edit text. You will find some new ways of displaying postscript text on the megapixel display. Granted there is more functionality in WP, but the functionality is no good if you cannot use the program. Our office greatly depends on the capabilities of our word processors. And it makes me look bad when a user wants a CompuAdd portable computer running AmiPro in Windows 3.1 over his/her NeXTStation Turbo. Appsoft says there next release will support drag and drop styles, character strikethrough, and multiple file formats. Available in July. -- Neil Greene President, Kentucky NeXT User Group, Inc.
